asterisk users - Nov 2007 - Problems getting Asterisk to detect call in SUSE9.3, with FritzCard

I have installed an Asterisk 1.4 on Suse93 using a FritzCard.

Some calls are logged to the ISDN log, but Asterisk is not detecting
incoming calls.

I wonder whether some other device or process is preventing Asterisk
from gaining access to the isdn line?

Is there some way to ensure that only Asterisk can listening to the
line, or get it to share the line with some other device, such as the
fax system or some other thing?

Any ideas?



Here some of the conf files.

Frank,

have you looked at using misdn?

Not really, I think somehow whatever events are happening with the
card are not reaching Asterisk.
